Freddie Mac's nonperforming mortgage sale has a pool for nonprofits

Freddie Mac's latest nonperforming mortgage auction will include one pool targeted to smaller investors like nonprofit organizations.

The sale consists of $363 million of seasoned first-lien whole loans in default within Freddie Mac's mortgage-related investments portfolio. The loans are being serviced by NewRez, which does business as Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing.

The mortgages to be sold are being split into four pools. There are three standard pool offerings where the bids are due on May 7.

The deadline for the extended pool is May 21. The sales are expected to settle in July 2019.
